Do you mean to the BOG of the NSS or to the Directors of the CDS? Either way, I'm not sure that they are reading the forum all that religiously. I think if you want to communicate with Directors, you should write them "directly."

Of course, I can hope that they all start paying closer attention to Cavechat, but even so, I still think direct communication is best.

Sounds good. But it needs to be on the CDS webpage,
http://www.nsscds.com not here. After all, those of us who are interested in cave diving and springs but are not divers want to be able to see posts on those subjects, too. And you'll need to find someone to administer such a site and ensure only CDS members participate, Russel. Are you volunteering? If so, again, you need to approach the CDS Board, not the majority of people on this forum, who would be excluded from such a members only forum.

Yes the CDS webpage is where I was thinking. As far as e-mail CDS-BOD I sent an email to everyone on the BOD about another issue and have recived one email total. Thanks Kelly for your replay. All though the board did act on said issue on the CDS-BOD page.

I do not know what was invovled in Admin. But I would at least try if I was capeable.

Actually, it is http://www.nsscds.org, the the CDS has to pay for the .com address because a lot of people don't realize that .com means *commercial*. Either address will direct you to the correct webpage.
